That convertor is a showstopper unless it is only the spindle that 
actually needs 3 phase, in which case I'd strip out the stuff that can 
run on 220 single phase, and put a much more efficient VFD on the 
spindle.  Is the spindle already encoded? If decent resolution that 
would save a few sheckels. I'd have to measure and see if it would fit 
in the g0704's space, looks to be a bit too wide.  I siged up for some 
email on it though.

Thanks Brent.
